After a year in their new home, Tommy and Anne Gordon have enjoyed many happy times – but there is one special moment they are particularly excited about.

Their new four-bed property at Taylor Wimpey’s Fairways development at Lomondgate will be the venue their daughter leaves from to get married.

Anne, 59, and Tommy, 61, who both work for Chivas Brothers in Dumbarton, feel their new home will be the ideal setting.

Anne said: “My son’s local and my daughter stays in Glasgow. She’s getting married this year and will be leaving from here so we’re really looking forward to that.

“We love the size of the rooms, they’re really big. The size of the plot too.”

The couple had been living in a three-bedroom mid-terrace property when they spotted the new properties being built at Lomondgate – a multi-million pound development offering a mix of business, leisure and residential properties. And they were particularly impressed with the Taylor Wimpey homes.

The Fairways is a mix of two and three-bed semis and three and four-bed detached homes, with the three-bedroom detached Chalmers house type currently priced from £196,000.

Anne said: “We hadn’t planned to move, but we regularly take a walk around the area and we were really interested in the new homes at the Lomondgate development.

“Once we started to look, we decided that if we were going to move then we’d like a new home that offered us a bigger garden, a garage and our own driveway.

“So we popped in to look at each of the developers at Lomondgate and fell in love with the layout and the position of the Fairbairn house at The Fairways.

“We went to Taylor Wimpey’s development in Airdrie to see the show home of this house, and the same day we came back we made our reservation.”

The couple bought off-plan and were the first to move in last March, but the development is selling fast.

“They’re putting the homes up quickly and they’re getting snapped up,” said Anne.

“We have individual rooms, which we like. There’s a living room with French doors into the garden at the back and the dining room is at the back.

“The homes are so light and bright. We love it.”

In addition to the kitchen, living room and dining room downstairs, the Fairbairn has an integral single garage and cloakroom and upstairs there is a master bedroom with en suite, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

As well as enjoying plenty of space inside, the couple also love their sizeable garden.

“We’ve become keen gardeners now,” said Anne. “We spend a lot of time in the garden.

“I just feel this development is so well located. I can walk to work and we can be shopping at Lomond Shores within 10 minutes or get into Glasgow in around 15-20 minutes.”
